Description Splash Laced Red Wyandotte Chicken The Splash Laced Red Wyandotte Chicken is a colorful variation of the Wyandotte family, developed from the same classic American bloodlines and recognized as part of the Wyandotte group by the American Standard of Perfection. This variety features a lighter “splash” pattern mixed with red and white tones, giving each bird a unique and eye-catching appearance. Cackle Hatchery®’s Splash Laced Red Wyandottes are offered as a production-type line, bred for performance and temperament rather than exhibition. These birds are considered dual-purpose, making them suitable for both egg production and meat use. Mature hens average about 6½ pounds, while roosters grow to around 8½ pounds, with pullets and cockerels slightly smaller. These chickens are known for their docile and easygoing nature, which makes them a great choice for backyard poultry keepers. They adapt well to free-range or confinement and tend to integrate easily into mixed flocks. Hens may become broody at times and are often reliable mothers when allowed to hatch and raise chicks naturally. Splash Laced Red Wyandottes are dependable brown egg layers, producing approximately 180 to 260 eggs per year (production estimates only; see FAQ) under good conditions. Their eggs are typically medium to large and light to medium brown in color. They prefer a roost height of two to four feet and do best with a breeding ratio of about nine females to one male, with fertility commonly falling between 60 and 75 percent. Cackle Hatchery® has been developing its Wyandotte bloodlines for decades, and the Splash Laced Red Wyandotte continues that tradition as a productive and attractive backyard bird.
